That's exactly what the purpose of DDT is. To provide an easier way to
launch programs, instead of the start menu. And can be configured that
way as well, just the custom start menu and not the shell features such
as the taskswapper and system tray. When it's set up that way, the
middle-click will immediately show the custom menu only, and not the
shell window.

And, with no desktop, there is no clutter. Face it, people spend some
time finding a nice background to use, then it get's obscured with tons
of icons. Not always, but people's Desktop icons can get out of hand,
just like their start menu. If you don't keep up on it after installing
each application.

I'll check out the 'Link' setup on another PC and see how that works.

I still have icons on my desktop, but now they are mostly of the type that
accept Drag and Drop operations (like the Recycle Bin icon) One neat thing
about the Links toolbar, it is also available in Internet Explorer. Right under
the Favorites Menu is the Links folder icon, with everything I've added from
programs, to folders, to web links, and they all work. What that means is that
I have one location for web links (under Web) and that list is available from
both my desktop and from IE. Not too spectacular, but it is kinda neat (and
tidy...)

Creating shortcuts in the menus are simple drag and drop operations:
Right-click the menu item you want the shortcut under and select Open.
Open Explorer to the program or folder you want and simply drag the
icon from one to the other....

As I said, that has been available for years, (ever since the Start button
was present, I would guess...)
